CONNECTING LINKS
There are cables through the ocean
There are wires across the land
There are unseen chords uniting
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
There are links of love that lengthen
'Till they measure land and sea,
There are chains that time will strengthen
'Till they span eternity.
There are wires across the land
There are unseen chords uniting
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
There are links of love that lengthen
'Till they measure land and sea,
There are chains that time will strengthen
'Till they span eternity.
Farther than the mighty cable
These electric chains may reach
Through the heart of life's great Babel
Throbbing with unuttered speech,
Miles of land or sea can never
Faithful loving friends divide
Though great yawning chasms sever
Many dwelling side by side.
These electric chains may reach
Through the heart of life's great Babel
Throbbing with unuttered speech,
Miles of land or sea can never
Faithful loving friends divide
Though great yawning chasms sever
Many dwelling side by side.
Then may distance, distance only
Have the power to part us here,
Though oft longing, though oft lonely
We can think with hopeful cheer
Of the links of love that lengthen
'Till they measure land and sea,
Of the chains that time will strengthen
'Till they span eternity.
Have the power to part us here,
Though oft longing, though oft lonely
We can think with hopeful cheer
Of the links of love that lengthen
'Till they measure land and sea,
Of the chains that time will strengthen
'Till they span eternity.
